Reliance Capital, Nippon Life To Jointly Start A Bank In India

The Anil Ambani-led Reliance Capital has partnered with
world's 2nd largest private life insurer Nippon Life Insurance Group to start a
commercial bank in India subject to the necessary approval. The duos, on
Monday, also announced two funds for Japanese investors in the Indian equity
and bond markets.

This announcement came during Indian Prime Minister Mr. Narendra Modi's visit
to Japan, which aims at strengthening bilateral economic ties between the
countries.

The two funds - Short Term Indian Bond Fund and India Equity Selection Fund
will enable Japanese retail investors to be part of the India's growth story.

“Reliance Capital is planning to set up its own bank, which will cater to the
individual customer and small-and-medium enterprises all over India",
Nippon Life President Mr. Yoshinobu Tsutsui said.

“With a view to improve the financial infrastructure of India, Nippon Life
Insurance is participating in this bank project as part of strategic business
alliance", he added.

The Japanese financial services giant Nippon Life holds a 26 per cent, the
maximum permissible stake in the Reliance Capital Asset Management Company
(RCAM).
